Do Averages Tell Us The Full Story?
ruffdiamond replied to Truro Robin's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
so,,, if rider 1 from team A wins, he gets points,if rider 2 from team A is second, he gets points, and riders 1 & 2 from team B are 3rd & 4th, they don't score ??? if rider 1 from team A wins, rider 1 from team B is 2nd, rider 2 from A is 3rd, they all score and the other guy at the back doesn't ??? if rider 1 from team A wins , team B riders are 2nd & 3rd, they all score, and the other guy at the back doesn't ??? I think they'll have to hand pencils out with rubbers on with the programme, lol,,, if things aren't complicated enough ;-) -

Would say, the 'pairs' scoring work in team matches, putting the onus onto not coming last,,, maybe more scope for team riding, obviously would have to change the average system to 16 like,,, bit of a big change, but it could work :-) -
y'll be waiting a while then ;-)

good post, can't say I agree with everything you say, but a lot of it makes sense,,, it does look as crowds are dropping and, if there's no fans, there's no club,,, would a good team bring crowds back to a sustainable level ???,,, how do you put a 'good' team together without fans bringing money in,,, if riders are failing, should they go, if the management/promotion are failing, should they go and, if they do go do they take the club with them ??? I'm sure there is some good or better idea's out there, but would anybody hear them,,, or is that part of the problem :-)

a free pint for dad's ??? :-) just out of interest AC, your obviously not happy with the team, what would've been your team ??? I think the team was build with potential in mind, but unfortunately only 2 members have increased their starting average,,, taking into consideration L Kerr's 'reduction' ???

That's maybe part of the problem with speedway,,, there are a few who have 'said this from day one',,, but to say the team will 'never' be strong enough is a bit hard predict, unless you're a clairvoyant,,, and by the way, yesterday's score was worse than the League Cup one, but don't let the facts get in the way ;-)

The Dilemma Of Greg Hancock
ruffdiamond replied to Grand Central's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
well,,, yes, if say it's a wooden leg you break, then you hit (or say kick) the other guy with it,,, -
Yeah,,, Bobby Lambert looks a talent, dunno what the 'Dozyref' was doing when Ulrich smashed Kerr into the fence, and agree, that was probably the turning point :-(,,, but apart from that and other stuff, it was a good advert for speedway :-) Anyway,,, never seen you on her much lately, have you been unwell, or is it just cos your getting on a bit (old) ???
